Biography

Torrei Hart, comedic and dramatic actress, producer, screen writer, and rising reality star can attest toB that. She is the ex-wife of comedian-actor Kevin Hart, and quite often a central theme in many of his stand-up routines.

Both Torrei and Kevin had aspirations of becoming successful entertainers. They realized there were heavy sacrifices involved. Kevin's career began to blossom, and with the birth of their first child, Torrei felt it necessary to delay her objectives and raise a family. "It was a tough decision, personally," she says, "but I knew it was what I had to do."

Torrei is generating excitement online with a string of comedic sketches by creating Pretty Funny Fish Productions. Torrei has executive produced, written, and acted in several hilarious and timely spoofs: consisting of a two part trailer on Tyler Perry's Temptation movie; Beyonce: Bow Down (The Super Bowl Power Outage, the Real Story); Basketball Wives L.A.; Destiny's Child Harlem Shake; and the ultra-funny Kittenhouse, where Torrei's character is that of a Madame inside a ghetto-fab brothel. The sketches were so successful online that Hip-Hop Mogul Russell Simmons reached out to Torrei, and they secured a deal for Pretty Funny Fish to create content for Simmons' YouTube channel "All Def Digital." Her digital imprint continues to grow with over 160,000 followers in the digital space.

On the dramatic side, Torrei executive produced, wrote, and acted in an 18-minute short film, titled Victim of Circumstance, a riveting tale about a seemingly quiet, introverted college student named Terrence. Terrence reveals his triumphant struggle to make it to college after witnessing a series of unfortunate events, while giving an oral essay to his freshmen class. A self-funded film, Victim of Circumstance is receiving much critical acclaim on the film festival circuit. It has been screened at the Hollywood Black Film Festival, LA Shorts Festival and more to come.

Torrei is no stranger to film roles. She's had parts in Soul Plane and The Captive. In between filming projects, producing comedy sketches and starring on reality TV, Torrei maintains a tight household. After all, she successfully co-parents with her ex-husband.
